Spelling rules are not the most fun topic of study, are they? Add to their dullness the never ending list of exceptions to the rules, and you’ve got a recipe for confusion. Hopefully these notebooking pages will clear up some of the confusion with their simple layout.

Write the rule, and then list both examples and exceptions. Voila, spelling made simple. Enjoy this free printable for your language arts notebooks. The file has two line styles — manuscript lines (shown) and wide ruled.

As always, I love to hear when you use the free printables from The Notebooking Fairy in your homeschool. If you send me photos, I will feature you in a Show Off post.

Her guide to notebooking—Notebooking Success—guides you through notebooking: what it is; how to use it; how it fits a Charlotte Mason, classical, and textbook curriculum; tips for getting the most educational value from it; and much more. It comes bundled with several bonuses, including a small set of generic notebooking pages that can be used with any topic.

I came across our spelling rules pages that the boys made when they were really young and it tickled me. I never would have thought when we were doing those pages (on binder paper all those years ago…with stickers of course) that they would make my heart swell when I saw them all these years later. Even spelling rules can be a treasured memory. 🙂
